Building Better Blocks Class

I apologize for my blog absence this week, my little angel Abby has been very ill. It came on very suddenly but she is at home and feeling a lot better!

Despite my crazy week I was able to go to the class I had previously signed up for. It is Building Better Blocks with Minay Sirois and is three weeks long. This class will hopefully teach me how to make more complex blocks than the simple ones I have been making, as well as give me more confidence in my quilting abilities.So here are the pictures of the two blocks we have made. The first one is the barn door block:

The second one is the bow tie block:

I must note that all of the blocks in this class are just for education purposes and are not going to be used in a quilt so I have used cheap fabric from Hancock's.

About Me

Hi my name is Christine and I am married to my wonderful husband Aaron. I collect vintage Coca-Cola and love to sew, quilt, and bake. Funny as an accountant most people think that I shouldn’t be crafty. Well the truth is I’m very much an in the box crafter and always try to make everything perfect and symmetrical. My husband who is a graphic artist pushes me out of the box when he can and helps to pick out a lot of my fabric groupings! He has an amazing eye for design and I have to give him credit for a lot!
